A deadly storm of violence sweeps across the United States in the thrilling third installment of the bestselling Trackers saga...

One month after the North Korean attack, the United States continues to fall into anarchy. In Estes Park, Colorado, Police Chief Marcus Colton and tracker Sam 'Raven' Spears work tirelessly to defend their hometown. But after a brutal coordinated attack, they realize it will take much more than roadblocks and a volunteer militia to protect their borders and keep their families safe.

Defense Secretary Charlize Montgomery has been reunited with her son, but his homecoming is short-lived due to the state of the FEMA survival centers around the country. She heads to the one in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her loyal bodyguard, Albert Randall. Outside the camp's walls, the city has descended into chaos and desperate civilians will do anything to get inside. When Albert stays behind to rescue his sister, he is caught in the middle of a turf war between rival gangs.

In this lawless new world where the most ruthless thrive while innocents suffer, Colton, Raven, and Charlize are faced with their toughest challenges yet. One thing is certain--they won't be able to save everyone. Not with their humanity still intact.

From former Homeland Security Disaster Mitigation Officer and USA Today bestselling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith, comes another harrowing story of survival in a post-apocalyptic world that readers and critics are hailing as one of the best post-apocalyptic books of 2017.

Editorial Reviews

Review

-Praise for the Trackers series-

*Named one of the most anticipated science fiction books of 2017 by Scifiaddicts.com*

*Selected by Bookbub as one of 16 science fiction books worth reading in 2017*

"An action-packed riff on the EMP apocalypse, but one that gut-punches full-scale war and great characters; everything from North Korean soldiers to Cheyenne Mountain to Cherokee cannibal legends. The first book in a new adventure that seems set to grow in scale and excitement!"

-Matthew Mather, Bestselling author of Cyberstorm

"A high-altitude nuclear EMP strike remains one of the least understood, most devastating threats facing industrialized society. It would benefit every American to read this book if for no other reason than to understand how this asymmetric attack could cripple the world's greatest superpower."

"Nicholas Sansbury Smith reboots the post-apocalyptic genre with Trackers, a carefully plotted, skillfully written, and exquisitely paced novel that combines the best elements of the post-apocalyptic genre with a gripping suspense."

-Steve Konkoly, USA Today bestselling author of the Perseid Collapse

"Just when you thought the post-apocalyptic genre had lost its power to entertain, along comes "Trackers". It begins with an unapologetic raid in North Korea and only picks up momentum from there. Smith is a master world builder, who takes the familiar and makes it seem new, fresh, and exciting. It's wonderful blend of military sci-fi, political intrigue, and dystopian fiction."

- Tom Abrahams, bestselling author of The SpaceMan Chronicles

Nick has done it again! You can just imagine yourself feeling the anger, the pain, the sorrow and the happiness that flows through the characters. I could actually feel looking down the sights of a rifle, pulling the trigger. I could see in my minds eye the holocaustic actions perpetrated by the gangs. Beautifully written. Action packed, Open plot lines close, traitors and loyalists exposed.

The Storm was an excellent followup to Trackers 2! The story is very real and is a forewarning to our current situation with North Korea. Colton and Raven continue to fight the evil men that have risen to power in the post-apocalyptic ruin that is the United States. Charlize wants to save everyone...but will she be able to? The decisions that need to be made are tough and everyday citizens's lives are impacted. The United States may survive, but will it resemble anything we are used to? Eagerly waiting for the 4th book!

I highly recommend this series to anyone that enjoys reading about realistic post-apocalyptic fiction - and hopefully it remains fiction.

The action packed series continues! Another wake up call from Nicholas Sansbury Smith in how we are all ill prepared to accept the grim reality of what an apocalyptic event might mean for our society. As more and more people fall prey to the new normal in the US our main characters need to escalate their vigilance and attempts to bring order and the country from an almost-complete destruction. More and more the balance of good and evil is tipped from one extreme to the next as people decide to balance their morals to what is happening around them. While common sense goes out the window only pure iron will can make our main characters overcome their challenges. Left me waiting eagerly for Book 4!!

I have now finished the third book of this four book series. I enjoyed this book as much as the first two. While this is fiction, the reality is that the story could evolve into a true situation. Kind of scary to think about that actually happening. Sore of makes me want to become a prepper . Anyway, great story lines, great characters and potentially realistic unlike many similar books I've read. Onto book four of the series to see how this story ends.

As was the case with the previous two books in this series, I've found myself immersed with the ongoing plot that this particular installment provides even more offshoots . Ultimately a necessary steady and thorough build towards the next installment. The most interesting concept I've found, specifically with this third book in the series, is how the author provides the "local" storylines of a world-changing event causing you to feel like you're part of the community at the heart of this tale while also examining the statewide, national, and international aspects while maintaining a sensible way of doing so as to not make the individual character narratives feel choppy. Very well done. So good that I am immediately venturing into the fourth edition since so many questions now exist!

The story continues to escalate with each book, with more complexities, twists, and higher stakes. As I get drawn into this world, it does beg the question: How prepared are we as a nation and individuals for an EMP attack? Clearly not enough. Sad to hear there is just one more book in this series, as the situations and characters seem to have more tales to tell. Excellent post-apocalyptic series, with a compelling tie in to today's twisted headlines. I've preordered book four.

You have to read books in order, (1-2-3), to fully understand the story line and characters..an EMP attack on the US and a small community trying to survive local bad guys in this mountain town with a mix of ex-Marine recon Indian tracker and bad ass. Sheriff, good and bad deputies, family's and crazies all thrown into this mountain community. Good reading.
